See Ultimate Edition 1.7 as it is being made. Feel free to post comments / suggestions.
02/24/08 For those of you that don't want Ultimate Edition 1.7 and are happy with Ultimate Edition 1.4 etc. I have written a page to allow you to have the same look / themes without downloading and installing Ultimate Edition 1.7. This does not mean you get the software just the look, I have added a bonus for users of Ultimate Edition 1.7 there as well for those that like compiz fusion, there is also a eyecandy repo now listed there.
02/22/08: We now officially listed on Distrowatch, thanks to one of our mods Leadfingers. There is an awesome review of Ultimate Edition 1.6 linked to it. I look for bandwidth usage to go through the roof. 33 hours more of uploading and "all Ultimate Edition's" should be there. Direct link to Ultimate Edition 1.6 Gamers currently unlinked and previously only available from ccal 4GB. Since I have paid for new hosting the limitations are remove from me, finally I can help ccal. I will write a page for it it was forum exclusive.
02/19/08 Well my current host has seen what I am doing I assume... and upgraded me for free well isn't this something... I swear it did not show this yesterday:
- Code: Select all
1175051.88 MB of 3000000.00 MB (39.17%)
02/17/08 I have paid for a new hosting service (cost me $80) with a different hosting company and transferred the download server there, I also paid for another year domain registration for the repo and download server. The new hosting company offers 15 Terabytes of transfer per month was 2 Terabytes with previous hosting company. I have not seen greater then 10 Terabytes of transfer in any month, this action will hopefully ensure availability to download the distro. I am uploading every Ultimate Edition distro to date, this will take a great amount of time, but hopefully will never have to do so again. Enjoy!!!
02/06/08 A "Super upgrade" for Ultimate Edition 1.4+ users is in route.
02/02/08 WOW is all I can say today.
01/31/08 Ultimate Edition 1.7 has been requested 147,131 times at time of this posting always a day behind on stats. We also have a new Webmaster on board you can read more about that here in our new thread Webmasters corner, feel free to post.

01/25/08 Not a moment too soon Ultimate Edition 1.7 is uploading... I have a surprise for everyone, there will be a Ultimate Edition 1.7 Gnome for those that don't like KDE (currently uploading) and a Ultimate Edition 1.7 for those that like KDE, I will be unable to host the KDE version it is too large (2011MB), thank god for ccal & his unlimited resources. Please keep a eye on this thread it is coming and you won't be sorry you downloaded it that I assure you...
01/23/08 I have taken a few days off work for my birthday, hopefully we can have a release of 1.7 while I am off, I am entering this from the live DVD which is beautiful and is installing. A few shots for you.
01/15/08 It is not done yet had to re-build Ultimate Edition 1.7 from scratch a few shots to keep your attention
01/09/07 I have tried re-building 1.7 (trying to make a CD version initially) from scratch, after many attempts have learned it is best to build based off Xmas Edition, no it will look nothing like Xmas, however themes etc. will be available, the theme for Ultimate Edition 1.7 is off the hook dark theme with bright blue for highlighting. Additional software has been added, It is building now, will post shots if successful. I have integrated the USplash maker and GDM Maker so you can change the looks to your hearts desire.
01/06/08 Well ladies and gents, much to share with you today, first the USplash maker is done, Those that like Compiz Fusion a special gift for you new thread opened for it. Progress on 1.7 has been slow there will not be a CD version just the updates alone exceeds the cd's capacity. There will be a DVD version however, sorry people without a DVD burner, I am sure it will be available for purchase when it goes hot.
12/29/07 To make my life easier in building Ultimate Edition & make yours even more beautiful, I have began writing an app to convert a selected image to a .so (USplash Theme) very user friendly with a GUI, you can read more about that here. Please read the bottom to see the revision that is coming.
12/27/07 Just a bit of a spoiler for you all, this will take a long time to complete, but has been initiated...
Naturally subject to change, I will be watching the Your art section prior to release. I am however more interested in the software that will be provided to you then "Just the pretty Graphics", please bare with me. All Images are subject to change prior to realse until you read Final here.
